Shirley Collins (thebeesknees.com)Program #2262
The English folk revival and medieval music scenes overlapped in the 1960s and 70s, resulting in a distinctive approach to early music that continues to this day. On this edition of New Sounds, hear some of these intersections of folk and early music, featuring fiddler Dave Swarbrick, "first lady of folk" Shirley Collins, Davey Graham, early music band leader Philip Pickett, and The Albion Dance Band.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
